Stayed Dec 22, 2024Our family of 2 parents, 2 grandparents, and 3 kids loved staying in this beautiful home for the holidays! The kitchen and supplies were spectacular and were perfect for baking cakes and other holiday fare. The view from the kitchen and living area was spectacular with nearly floor to ceiling windows and a sweeping view of tall pines and redwoods. The beds, bedding, and bathrooms downstairs were all very nice, with plenty of space for everyone. The dog run was ideal for our dog to get outside even during a snowy stretch of weather. We skied 2 days at Bear Valley which was a short trip up the hill from this lovely home. We hope to return to Chesa Madrisa some day!

Stayed Aug 1, 2024This home was above and beyond all expectations. The house was very clean and had more amenities than you could imagine. The location was quiet, yet close to accessing all the wonderful things to do in the area. My family definitely would love to come back and enjoy this beautiful home again!

Stayed Apr 19, 2024This house is everything and more! Just like every review wrote, the house is spectacular. It’s very big and every room has a suite bathroom. The house is well cleaned and maintained. It has everything you can think off. If a hot tub was added, it would be perfect. We loved our stay and everyone was wowed by the house. We had a group of 3 families with young children. It was a lot of fun with all the games downstairs. The host is very responsive, some rules are strict but understandable. Best house we stayed in a while.

Stayed Aug 3, 2023We had an amazing time! The house has everything you can need, and more! I love how all the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. It was perfect for our two families, each of the couples got a room with a King size bed, and the 4 kids shared the ones with the King and the bunk beds. The community pool was also really nice. I highly recommend!

Stayed Jan 20, 2022Gorgeous Swiss style chalet just minutes from Big Trees Calaveras. Hilary's was great to work with and her place is a hidden gem. We loved the classic touches such as the cow bell and old school X county skis. I appreciated the kid friendly accommodations incl PakNPlay/high chair/baby gate and my kids loved playing with all the toys. There was a sled in the garage. Tons to do and large kitchen for any chef. We enjoyed fondue and Raclette and our dogs loved running in the back yard and walking around the neighborhood. Close to Bear Valley and Moaning Caverns and town of Arnold

Stayed Dec 18, 2021My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Chesa Madrisa during the Christmas holiday. The beautiful floor to ceiling windows in the living room allowed us to watch the snowfall and be completely immersed in the snowy forest. Hilary (the host) is absolutely amazing. She is kind, friendly, and goes out of her way to provide any information needed. I felt she went above and beyond as a host. But my favorite thing about the house was a completely well-equipped kitchen so we could feel at home cooking holiday meals. This is something I have found to be a rare thing with rentals. Would 100% rent this house again! Loved our stay here. I miss it already :)
